vfs: dcache: use DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED instead of DCACHE_DISCONNECTED in d_kill()

2012-10-02T17:29:51Z

commit b161dfa6937ae46d50adce8a7c6b12233e96e7bd upstream. IBM reported a soft lockup after applying the fix for the rename_lock deadlock. Commit c83ce989cb5f ("VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression in kernel 2.6.38") was found to be the culprit. The nfs sillyrename fix used DCACHE_DISCONNECTED to indicate that the dentry was killed. This flag can be set on non-killed dentries too, which results in infinite retries when trying to traverse the dentry tree. This patch introduces a separate flag: DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED, which is only set in d_kill() and makes try_to_ascend() test only this flag. IBM reported successful test results with this patch.

vfs: move dentry_cmp from to fs/dcache.c

2012-03-04T23:51:42Z

It's only used inside fs/dcache.c, and we're going to play games with it for the word-at-a-time patches. This time we really don't even want to export it, because it really is an internal function to fs/dcache.c, and has been since it was introduced. Having it in that extremely hot header file (it's included in pretty much everything, thanks to ) is a disaster for testing different versions, and is utterly pointless. We really should have some kind of header file diet thing, where we figure out which parts of header files are really better off private and only result in more expensive compiles.

vfs: clarify and clean up dentry_cmp()

2012-03-02T22:47:15Z

It did some odd things for unclear reasons. As this is one of the functions that gets changed when doing word-at-a-time compares, this is yet another of the "don't change any semantics, but clean things up so that subsequent patches don't get obscured by the cleanups".

vfs: uninline full_name_hash()

2012-03-02T22:32:59Z

.. and also use it in lookup_one_len() rather than open-coding it. There aren't any performance-critical users, so inlining it is silly. But it wouldn't matter if it wasn't for the fact that the word-at-a-time dentry name patches want to conditionally replace the function, and uninlining it sets the stage for that. So again, this is a preparatory patch that doesn't change any semantics, and only prepares for a much cleaner and testable word-at-a-time dentry name accessor patch. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

vfs: trivial __d_lookup_rcu() cleanups

2012-03-02T22:23:30Z

These don't change any semantics, but they clean up the code a bit and mark some arguments appropriately 'const'. They came up as I was doing the word-at-a-time dcache name accessor code, and cleaning this up now allows me to send out a smaller relevant interesting patch for the experimental stuff.

fix shrink_dcache_parent() livelock

2012-01-10T18:06:32Z

Two (or more) concurrent calls of shrink_dcache_parent() on the same dentry may cause shrink_dcache_parent() to loop forever. Here's what appears to happen: 1 - CPU0: select_parent(P) finds C and puts it on dispose list, returns 1 2 - CPU1: select_parent(P) locks P->d_lock 3 - CPU0: shrink_dentry_list() locks C->d_lock dentry_kill(C) tries to lock P->d_lock but fails, unlocks C->d_lock 4 - CPU1: select_parent(P) locks C->d_lock, moves C from dispose list being processed on CPU0 to the new dispose list, returns 1 5 - CPU0: shrink_dentry_list() finds dispose list empty, returns 6 - Goto 2 with CPU0 and CPU1 switched Basically select_parent() steals the dentry from shrink_dentry_list() and thinks it found a new one, causing shrink_dentry_list() to think it's making progress and loop over and over. One way to trigger this is to make udev calls stat() on the sysfs file while it is going away. Having a file in /lib/udev/rules.d/ with only this one rule seems to the trick: ATTR{vendor}=="0x8086", ATTR{device}=="0x10ca", ENV{PCI_SLOT_NAME}="%k", ENV{MATCHADDR}="$attr{address}", RUN+="/bin/true" Then execute the following loop: while true; do echo -bond0 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters echo +bond0 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters echo -bond1 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters echo +bond1 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters done One fix would be to check all callers and prevent concurrent calls to shrink_dcache_parent(). But I think a better solution is to stop the stealing behavior. This patch adds a new dentry flag that is set when the dentry is added to the dispose list. The flag is cleared in dentry_lru_del() in case the dentry gets a new reference just before being pruned. If the dentry has this flag, select_parent() will skip it and let shrink_dentry_list() retry pruning it. With select_parent() skipping those dentries there will not be the appearance of progress (new dentries found) when there is none, hence shrink_dcache_parent() will not loop forever. Set the flag is also set in prune_dcache_sb() for consistency as suggested by Linus. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Al Viro
